The period T of a pendulum of length L, mass m in a gravitational field g ms-2 is suspected to be a function of L, m and g. If it is postulated that
T=KLxmygz
where K is a dimensionless constant, use dimensional analysis to obtain the constants x, y and z.
There's only one pi group I came up with and that was g/(T2L)
other than that, I can't figure out how to begin this problem in a way that will give me an opportunity to solve for the three exponents.
